Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove
the screw on the battery cover.
Remove the battery cover (Fig. 6).

Attach a high-quality 9-volt alkaline
battery to the battery terminal (not included).

Without

lock hole, test the alarm by turning the
key in the lock cylinder to the locked position. The alarm should sound
within a few seconds. If it does not, replace the battery.
Note: Check the battery regularly to ensure the best pos sible lock
performance. Regularly test the alarm, and check the strength of
the LED light; when the battery is running lo w, the LED light will
become faint. It will stop flashing once the battery is
almost
empty.
Batteries should last approximately 6-12 months.
Closing the Cover
1.
The tab on the left-hand side of
the cover fits onto the outside of
the lock, and the tabs on the top
and bottom fit inside. Insert the
left and bottom tabs first (Fig. 8).
Press the top tab inwards, being careful of your fingers, and push the
cover down into place. Both the release tabs should snap into place and
must be sticking out from the holes.
Using the Decibel Cable Lock
1.
Open the cable clamp and unwrap the cable.
2.
Wrap the cable around or through items you wish to secure. If the lock is
freestanding or attached to the item being protected, pass the cable
through a fixed object such as a post or railing. If locking a bicycle, wrap
the cable through the frame, both wheels, and the fixed object for optimal
security.
3.
Leave as little slack on the cable as possible by wrapping any excess cable
around or through objects multiple times.
4.
Open the black tab next to the lock cylinder, revealing the cable lock hole.
Tip: Thieves have better leverage to attack locks that are located
near the ground. Secure the lock and cable a fe w feet above the
ground to best deter thieves.
5.
Insert the steel end of the cable firmly into the cable lock hole. Ensure it
is inserted fully. On recently-purchased locks, the cable may require
additional, gentle force to fit into the cable lock hole. See Troubleshooting
for more information.
6.
Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn it ¼ turn to the right.
Remove the key. The LED light will flash a few times to indicate that it is
now locked and armed. It will then flash every 4-5 seconds.
7.
To unlock your Decibel Cable Lock, insert the key and turn it a ¼ turn to
the left. Remove the cable from the cable lock hole. For easy storage,
wrap the cable around the lock and close the cable clamp.
